Mojo Audio Mystique EVO


Mojo Audio updated their website yesterday with details on the next generation of the Mojo Mystique DAC, the Mystique EVO.

Unlike the V3, the EVO has upgrade options for component, isolation and shielding upgrades - at purchase or to be upgraded later.   The website states there are plans to release new boards for ethernet/roon, and other dac chips like the PCM63.

I pre-ordered an EVO in late February with a few upgrades.  I'm expected to receive it in 1-2 weeks, and I'll post my impressions after some time with it.  I currently have the Mystique V3 and I find it fantastic.  Really looking forward to hearing Ben's next iteration.

Ideally, a system should have only one ground point to the mains through one mains lead. Because you can get small earth loops happening if everything has a mains earth plug
All equipment are grounded to each other via the interconnects from source to poweramp if the power amp has the earth to the mains.
  
The only time a second mains earth is needed is if cd transport using the optical (toslink) connection to the dac. Then the transport need to have a mains earth as well.

I’m playing louder than normal (about +10db) as well and the sound only becomes fuller - never strained nor distorted. And while playing at higher than my normal volume, I can hear more of the delicate details and dynamics of this excellent DAC.

That’s what a "good" R2R Dac does, discrete or chip. On a system that handle’s it.
It gives incredible punch and definition (boogie factor) to the bass yet a rich/fullness to the mids and above, all you want to do is turn it up.
Then suddenly your amp runs out of steam on a dynamic swing, you realize, your wife, and your neighbors say "wow" I went too far this time, That Was Loud!!.

Our Mystique EVO digital-to-analog converter is a no-compromise design incorporating ultra-purist non-oversampling direct-coupled R2R topology.

This sounds like it's going to give the MSB's, Halo's, Denafrip's, a real run for the money, hope a mag that also does tests and measurements like Stereophile does a review on this.
